THE SUMPTER MINER.
. '
r v
FOR A BOARD OF TRADE
Meeting to Organize One Held
Monday Evening.
A number of public spirited citizens of
Sumpter met in Ellis opera house Mon
day evening for the purpose of organizing
a Board of Trade. J. B. Stoddard was
called to the chair and Seymour Bell was
elected secretary.
Several gentlemen present made sensi
ble speeches pointing out the need of such
an organization here, and the great benefit
the town would derive therefrom, by
uniting the efforts of business men. Ed
Cannon demonstrated that he meant
what little he said by giving ten dollars to
help the movement along in its Infancy.
Some discussion of the best method to
be pursued in starting off right, resulted
in the appointment of Messrs. Chance,
Warner, Gleason, McDevitt, and Bell as
a committee to Interview business men on
the subject and get their signatures to a
membership list.
Another meeting will be held tomorrow
evening to take further steps towards per
fecting organization. It is hoped that
this meeting will be largely attended.
Every man engaged in any brand) of bus
iness here should be present. It is very
important that this movement be carried
to a successful issue, for there is no doubt
but what much good can be accomplished
in this way.
W. E. KAHLER RETIRES.
W. R. Hawky Will Continue the General
Mercantile Business.
W. E. Kaliler, former postmaster and
merchant here, leaves today for The
Dalles, to attend a meeting of the stock
holder of the Golden Eagle Mining com
pany, in which he is interested.
Tliis company has been for the past two
years developing its mines near the Bo
nanza, and lias a small three stamp mill
in operation and is pounding on good ore,
which promises to make the owners
wealthy men in the near future.
Mr. Kahler has retired from the firm of
Kaliler & Hawley here, and will devote
his time for several weeks to collecting
some old accounts in Morrow county,
where he was tormerly In business. He
will likewise give tills section some atten
tion in the same line of business, later on. '
W. It. Hawley will continue the gen-'
eral mercantile business here.
Will Start Work on Copper Property.
H. H. Fritz left again Sunday for the
Prairie City district. He and his partner,
Ed Dwyer, have, out there what they
think is the making of a good mine, the
values being principally in copper. The '
object of Mr. Filtzs visit at this time Is (
to put men to work on the property, for '
the purpose of showing up what there is '
in the claim. If It prospects well, it will
be developed. i
Poindexter a Prospective Millionaire.
Paul Poindexter received returns yester-
day from a half doeu assays, made by the
assayer for the Golcouda mine, which
makes him feel like a prospective million
aire. They run all the way from 544 to
$114 In gold and some silver. The pro
perty Is near the North Pole mine, a dis
trict which seems to produce the highest
values. The rock is very similar to that
of the Golcouda.

A social was held at the home of Mr.
Swan, In the Basche block, last Thursday
evening by the members of the Christian
Endeavor society of Sumpter. Music and
